History

KSNB-TV

The station signed on in 1965 as KHTL, part of the Nebraska Television Network or NTN alongside KHGI-TV (then as KHOL-TV), KWNB-TV (then as KHPL-TV) and KHQL in Albion. During the 1980s the chain was rebranded as NTV. It was also around this time that the station adopted its current call letters, KSNB-TV. During the 1980s, the station would remain an ABC affiliate but its was then that KBGT (the former KHQL/KCNA) would be spun off and become KCAN. That station now operates as Lincoln-based KLKN, owned and operated by Citadel Communications (not related to the larger Citadel Broadcasting. During the mid 1990s, KSNB would make the switch from ABC over to Fox.

KTVG

A construction permit was granted on April 10, 1986 for the station. However, the station did not take to the air until 1993. It has served as a Fox network affiliate since its sign-on. It was the market's only Fox station before KSNB made the switch from ABC to Fox in the 1990s.

Both Stations

Aside from serving the area as Fox affiliates, during the early 2000s they would pick up the secondary PAX affiliation. That network began as PAX, then became i: Independent Television on July 1, 2005 and then became ION Television on January 29, 2007. It was also during this time that the station carried programs from UPN -- that was until that network came together with The WB to form the The CW Television Network, which launched on September 18, 2006. The CW can be seen on KCWL channel 51.
